My friend John is the chicest person I know. Clad in Dior, and always perfectly manicured, I trust his style advice implicitly; from his ridiculously-small Jacqumeus bag to his stingray-finished coffee table, everything about him exudes style and understated opulence. He's rambled for years about his future Margiela engagement ring, and with its asymmetrical band and two half-moon diamonds, it's the kind of ring that could make anyone want to break away from the traditional rock. Unfortunately, the Margiela gem itself has been sold out for quite some time—a tragedy!—but more gorgeous, non-traditional engagement rings are available. For you, I went ahead and selected the very best.

Selim Mouzannar Mina Ring

Fashion girls are falling for all of Selim's pieces, and this ring is no exception.

Fred Leighton Gold and Sterling Silver Topaz Ring

At a whopping 4.6 carats, you, too, can channel your inner J.Lo.

Polly Wales Lotus Ring

This textured yellow gold band is full of hidden gems—literally.

Nicole Rose Platinum Old Mine Cut Diamond Ring

This Art Deco-style ring is a showstopper.

Simon G. 18k Gold White Ring

This asymmetrical band is the perfect platform for showcasing these diamonds.

Suzanne Kalan White Gold Diamond Ring

The "organized chaos" of this ring is perfect for the modern ride. The 1.51 carats of round and baguette-cut diamonds don't hurt either.

Anita Ko Diamond Leaf Ring

Soft, feminine and subtle, the luminous rose gold makes this ring look like a second skin.

Repossi Pear Diamond Ring

The finest in architectural jewelry, Repossi is a cut above the rest.

Messika My Twin Toi & Mo Ring

Get the best of both worlds with this teardrop and square engagement ring.
